The man driving the other car also was taken to the hospital, he said.

James was taken to the New Hanover County jail, Brewer said.

The incident began shortly after 9 p.m. when deputies attempted to pull over a gold 1995 Lexus in the 2900 block of Princess Place Drive, he said.

As deputies activated their lights and siren, the Lexus sped away a short distance before it collided with a car pulling out of a driveway, Brewer said. The collision caused the Lexus to roll over, he said.

The car had been reported stolen near Market Street and Kerr Avenue earlier this week, Crockett said.
